Our Cookie First Philosophy
At SkinKeeps, we believe that your digital footprint should be as protected as your skin barrier. We follow a strict Data Minimization protocol, ensuring that your time spent in our lab is private and focused entirely on your biological results.
We only use cookies that are technically essential for the site to function or are necessary to support our independent research via affiliate referrals. We do not use behavioral tracking or invasive analytics.
🍪 What Cookies We Use (and Why)
| Cookie Type | Usage | Purpose |
|---|---|---|

| Affiliate & Referral | YES | Used only when you click a product link to reward our independent research. |
| Performance & Analytics | NO | We do not use Google Analytics or other tools that track your individual IP or browsing behavior. |

Understanding Affiliate Cookies
Because we are committed to keeping our diagnostic tools free and our research independent, we use affiliate links. When you click on a "Perfect Product" recommendation, a small, temporary cookie is placed on your browser.
What it does:
It acts as a digital "referral slip." It tells the store, "Fardowsa sent me here," so that if you make a purchase, a small percentage goes back to supporting SkinKeeps research.
What it doesn't do:
It does not give us access to your name, credit card info, or personal data. These cookies expire automatically (often after 24 hours to 30 days).
🛠️ How You Can Control Cookies
You are in total control of your browser’s "immune system." You can block or delete cookies in your settings:

Note: Blocking all cookies may limit the "memory" of our interactive diagnostic tools.
🤝 Closing Assurance & Compliance
We treat your digital data with the same clinical scrutiny we apply to a skincare formula. If a cookie doesn't serve a functional purpose or support our ability to provide free research, it doesn't belong on our site.
By strictly limiting our cookie usage, we ensure compliance with international data protection directives (ePrivacy/GDPR).
